The giant bear's attack was fierce, and the fangs under the bloody mouth bit down on the head of the black-robed man, but the black-robed man still stood motionless, and the Oster who was held hostage by him did not dare to move.

"Young Master!"

Hannah and the Black Shadow shouted in unison, but the imaginary scene of flesh and blood did not appear, and the giant bear turned into a pale blue mist and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

"Alas, failed,"

Oster shook his head helplessly, and asked the black-robed man, "How do you know this is an illusion?"

What he smashed on the ground just now was the primary visual illusion potion made by Ouster himself, and he originally planned to take advantage of the opponent's panic to get out of control, and then take the opportunity to escape, but he didn't expect to be recognized at once.

The black-robed man breathed a sigh of relief, and he couldn't wait to swipe the dagger in his hand and kill this guy directly.

He knew a fart hallucination, he was too scared to move just now!

In the past, the kidnappers would be afraid after a failed attempt to escape, but now Oster was still very calm, and looked at the black-robed man and spoke impatiently,

"Alright, Alan, don't pretend, I know it's you, your knight's voice has been exposed. ”

Not only that, but the two of them were the same as Alan and the knight, and to Oster's surprise, Alan turned out to be a mage who could cast two fireball spells?

These two people are indeed Alan and Locke, but he won't admit it.

Yesterday afternoon, he planned to kidnap Oster, so he loaded the third mana amplification rune on himself in the evening.

Not only that, but Alan also loaded two other runes that he had originally prepared for himself on Locke's body, which is why he asked Locke if he was loyal to him.

Based on Allen's current crafting ability, it is not yet possible to strip the runes of the spiritual imprints that belong to him, which leads to the rejection reaction of the runes as long as the loaded person is the enemy of Allen.

As for the consequences of rejection, Alan himself is not clear, it is not very pleasant anyway.

Fortunately, Locke is an honest knight, and the runes loaded into his body are very well fused, without any abnormalities.

Those two runes were originally intended to be used by Allen to enhance their physique, and they were non-standard runes between white runes and green runes, which were also the highest level of Allen's current level.

The so-called standard runes refer to runes that can be advanced through synthesis, for example, about ten standard white runes can be synthesized into the same type of green rune, and fifty green runes can be synthesized into blue runes until the purple rune.

Non-standard runes cannot be crafted, and once loaded, they can only be replaced if they want to be promoted, which is considered a one-time rune.

The two non-standard runes on Locke's body, one is a giant force, which increases the strength by 60%~80%, and the other is a hurry, which increases the agility by 40%~60%, which can be regarded as the most basic runes.

However, it was more than enough to defeat Hannah, who didn't outrun him much.

Alan stretched out his hand and patted Olster's face gently, and then made a gesture, Locke saw it at a glance, and suddenly used force in his hand, knocking Hannah directly unconscious.

Locke then stood up and walked over to his henchmen lying on the ground with his sword, stabbing them through their throats one by one.

This was agreed upon before coming, except for Hannah and Olster, all of whom were killed.

"Well, why bother, these people cost me dozens of gold coins. ”

Having said that, there was no sadness on Oster's face.

Alan didn't care about Oster's appearance, and waved his hand at Locke, who carried the sword to Hannah's neck.

This time, Oster's face finally became a little solemn, "Alan, there is really no need to make us enemies because of a guard, it is Baron Field's idea to cooperate with the wolf, I am just a participant." ”

Alan sneered in his heart, he didn't care whose idea it was, he only knew that his father was arrested, and he always had to charge some interest.

Locke saw Eren nodding his head, and with a swing of his sword, he slashed at the wrist of Hannah's right hand, which was considered to nullify her ability to hold a sword.

Oster gritted his teeth, this result was acceptable, it was a big deal that he donated more money to the church and asked a priest to help Hannah recover.

"Alan, alright, it's almost ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a huge force in the back of his neck, his eyes went black, and he fainted.

"That's a lot of nonsense. ”

Alan shook his palm, which was a little painful, and glared at the unconscious Ost angrily.

After the two men were knocked unconscious, Locke removed his mask and took a deep breath.

The black cloth I found temporarily was not very breathable, and it was too stuffy.

"Young Master, the power of this rune is simply too powerful!"

Locke's age is not young, and honest cultivation can no longer give him much promotion, if he wants to gain more strength, he needs to keep fighting, and constantly baptize with blood and pain.

He no longer expects these things when he already has children, but Alan has let him see a new world today.

"Shh~"

Alan put his finger to his lips, made a silent gesture, and smiled.

"You haven't fully mastered it yet, but when you get acquainted with it, you'll find it even more powerful. ”

There was one more thing he didn't say, with constant practice and fighting, the runes could also be upgraded.

The same white rune, loaded in the body of a battle-experienced professional for ten years, can increase its effect beyond the normal green rune.

Hearing Allen's answer, Locke was naturally very pleased, originally thought that the young master was not simple and mysterious, but he didn't expect that there would be such a god-made thing.

While wiping the blood from the long sword, he opened his mouth and asked, "Young Master, how do you know that they will take this path?"

The path next to the Hot Wind Forest was not only far away but also bumpy, and the forest would be popped by wild beasts from time to time, and Locke really couldn't understand why Alan was able to conclude that Oster would definitely take this path.

"I don't know, it's completely blind. ”

"Huh?"

Allen's answer was obviously beyond Locke's expectations, and the expression on his face paused significantly,

"Blindfolding...... Meng's?"

A noble young master like Allen, who flaunts himself with integrity, naturally won't deceive Locke,

"Even if he goes the other way, I'll send a message to Oster asking him to negotiate the sale of Rocky Valley. ”

He did deliberately snub Ost before, and showed his flaws to the other party in a calculated manner, but it can't be said that he completely expected Ast's thoughts, and there was an element of gambling in them.

It can be said that it was actually Oster's overconfidence that harmed himself.

"Okay, don't think about it, clean up the traces, let's go back. ”

Locke nodded, disposed of the corpses of several of his followers, carefully cleared the traces of the battle, and dragged the unconscious Ost and Hannah back.
